A Clarksville man convicted in the fatal Nov. 17, 2015, shooting of Dalenzo Russell was sentenced to 10 years for voluntary manslaughter and 10 years for aggravated assault.

Darcell Dominique Wright, 24, was originally charged with first-degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery when his case went to trial in January.

After deliberating over two days, a jury found him guilty of the lesser charges.

According to court documents, Circuit Court Judge Jill Ayers sentenced Wright on Wednesday to 10 years on each count, to run consecutive. Each charge has a release eligibility after 35 percent of the sentence is served.

At trial, Wright admitted that he shot Russell, but claimed he did it because he was afraid Russell would hurt or kill him when he was attempting to buy drugs.
